Bariatric surgery is a weight loss tool that influences the anatomy and hormones of the stomach and digestive system. These changes reduce hunger, emotional eating, and increase satiety, thus regularize food intake and promote fat burning. Over a period of time, the physiological changes related to energy balance and fat metabolism occur, which in turn helps to achieve a steady, desired body weight. Thus, contrary to dietary weight loss which is usually short living and reversible, surgical weight loss offers long-lasting weight loss, improved coexisting diseases, better quality of life, improved self-esteem and psychosocial status. Most of the bariatric surgeries are done using minimal invasive techniques such as laparoscopy.
Dr Shrikant Kurhade is considered to one of the best Laparoscopic Bariatric surgeon in Pune. With year's of experiance he perform several different procedures. By changing your gastrointestinal anatomy, certain bariatric procedures affect the production of intestinal hormones in a way that reduces hunger and appetite and increases feelings of fullness (satiety). The end result is reduction in the desire to eat and in the frequency of eating. Interestingly, these surgically-induced changes in hormones are opposite to those produced by dietary weight loss. Our surgeon perform most of these procedures in the hospital, using general anesthesia. They specialize in minimally invasive, or laparoscopic, techniques, which involve small incisions in the abdomen and often reduce recovery time.We offer a newer procedure, the intragastric balloon system, that does not require general anesthesia or a hospital stay.
Surgery is the best procedure for quick remedy when you are suffering from obesity that has not been managed by lifestyle and diet modifications. However, if your doctor or nutritionist feels that you do not need to undergo surgery at the current stage, he/she might also advise you on non-surgical methods such as regulating your diet, wherein you must target to lose 2-3 kgs weekly. Include physical activities such as going running, regular walking and taking medications.
If the healthcare provider has advised you to undergo the Scarless Mini Gastric Bypass, then you can resume eating (in moderation) healthy dieting in a couple of days.
There is no set time to undergo Bariatric Surgery. If even after strict dieting, exercising your Body Mass Index continues to remain in the range of 35 and above and/or you have health complications, your doctor will advise you to undergo Bariatric surgery.
You may need to undergo further Bariatric surgery if you have by chance regained the lost weight after a few months to a year or was not able to reduce your weight after the first surgery itself.
